Nah, losing to Purdue by 29 is a weight around our neck. Stop getting blown out by mediocre teams during the season and we're in.

I didn't realize the nerds have Walter F'n White as their defensive coordinator.
Could you find a bigger picture? I wasn't able to count every whisker in his goatee.

They play 5 ACC teams.
Incidentally, the new ACCN channel has been announced and will be debuting in August, 2019. It's the ESPN/ACC channel, and they talk about 15 teams in the conference, displaying the Domers logo along with the 14 regular members.
So ESPN is fully tied to the SEC, ACC, and Texas.

If Alabama loses to LSU , if LSU isn’t in the CFP it means nothing but if a PU or Iowa beats tOSu it makes their decade. When the coaches and players watch film of Iowa PU NW they don’t take them seriously and once in awhile they get bit in the ass.tOSU could beat anyone above them, so thePU loss means nothing.

Well, then I'd say our coaches need to prepare for everyone. Stop getting blown out by the Iowa's and Purdue's of the world and we control our own destiny. I don't see the conference we play in as a "weight around our neck", I see a couple of embarrassing games as the weight. If we're a playoff team, we should be able to take everyone's, especially middling teams, best shot and win. Hell, the occasional loss to an inferior opponent is bound to happen. But losing by 30 points is inexcusable.

Yep. If the loss was close, then we would've jumped OU in the CFP rankings yesterday. Obviously, had we won like we were supposed to, then we're #3 at worst...

Harbaugh beat the bums you want to trade head coaches I don’t . Ga lost toLSU by 20 and they are 4 the conference matters. If PU can beat tOSU they could beat LSU.

Thanks, guys. I should have looked that up.
But, 6-6 isn't great either. No business losing to them. But at least they are going to a Bowl Game. Boiler up!

WTF? Where did I ever say I want to trade head coaches with anybody?
In fact, I've been pretty vocal against the small minority growing restless w/Coach Meyer. What he needs to do is figure out a way to stop getting blown out by the Iowa's and Purdue's of the world. Until that happens, I will never get upset about us getting left out of the playoff. As for the rest of your post, well, transitive property sucks and means squat.

That would be close. But definitely not Oregon State.
I really hope the Board or whatever you call them sees it your way. I'd love to go the Rose Bowl as that was ingrained in me as the be-all end-all of college football for as long as I can remember. Times have changed, certainly. But the Rose Bowl is still the best bowl.

PASS RUSH KEY TO OHIO STATE STOPPING CLAYTON THORSON-LED NORTHWESTERN PASSING ATTACK
No one would call Northwestern’s offense particularly explosive, but that doesn’t mean the Wildcats don’t have any dangerous offensive pieces that might threaten Ohio State in the Big Ten championship Saturday night.
Only nine teams in the country, including one team from a Power Five conference – Rutgers – have fewer 10-plus-yard plays than the Wildcats. Just four teams, including one team from a Power Five conference – Rutgers, again – average fewer yards per play than Northwestern.
The Wildcats don’t move the ball down the field quickly, and they don’t score frequently (No. 108 in points per game), but they extend drives in large part due to a passing offense that attacks defenses with targets for short-to-medium gains, moving the chains in order to grind out tight games. Only one of Northwestern’s eight wins came by more than 10 points, and it was a 14-point victory against Wisconsin.
Clayton Thorson, a redshirt senior quarterback, doesn’t lack experience. He’s played dozens of close games in his five-year career – with nearly four seasons as a starter – and even came five points from beating the Buckeyes two years ago.
“Guy's got 51 straight starts,” Schiano said. “He's an NFL quarterback. We need to make sure that we all understand how that all fits into their entire offense. He's a very accurate passer. He understands scheme very well. You're not going to trick him with coverages and things like that. Although he's thrown 12 interceptions, he's very, very smart with the football.”
Thorson overcame an offseason surgery to repair his ACL to return for a fifth season. He has continued to pile up yards this season and now ranks fifth in Big Ten history with 10,223 passing yards. This season, he has completed 251-of-416 passes (60.3 percent) for 2,675 yards.
He has a poor 14-to-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio, though Schiano partially attributed that to tipped passes and mentioned not all of them were poor mental decisions.
“I think he's a fine player,” Schiano said. “I thought he was a fine player two years ago when we played him here. He's had a knee surgery since and a bunch of wins since. He's a good player.”
